Massachusetts H1406 aims to enhance continuity of care for MassHealth members with chronic conditions.

Massachusetts H1406 amends the General Laws to ensure that prior authorization services and supports for chronic conditions last up to five years. It also allows MassHealth or its authorized agent to modify service plans in response to changes in a member’s condition. This applies to services like Adult Day Health, Adult Foster Care, and Home Health Aide. The bill aims to improve continuity of care for MassHealth members with chronic conditions.
